OK - now listen carefully.
Those heads don't exist. Spend a little time with google and you'll see the guy is a thief and has ripped off people all over for a LOT of money.
Of course the "thief" part is just my opinion. (My lawyer told me to add that.)

I've had numerous dealings with Russ Arao over the past years. He is a very honorable and nice man.

A quick search of the California Secretary of State shows that a "ARAO INDUSTRIES, INC." - with Russ Arao as agent for service of process - is a dissolved corporation. I don't see an entry for "Arao Engineering, Inc.", a dba perhaps.
Further searching will find numerous paniced individuals EXTREMELY frusterated as they typically spend $10,000+ and have waited sometimes 1 - 2 years with nothing in hand. The typical victim will say how they were strung along and were promised the heads were comming....to recieve nothing and have to litigate the matter.
I've never seen a set of his heads on any car. I've never read anything outside a magazine article about his heads where they were on a motor and operational. There are no large detailed pictures of the heads on his website. I would bet the heads were machined just enough for the website but never finished and operational.
Typical search results along with "ARAO cylinder heads" will result with "SCAM" or "Fraud". There are endless posts, mostly on ford forums about victims and their experiences. Don't take my word for it, use google and read it all for yourself.
This actually reminds me of the timeshare resale business - fake.
This post was made years ago, and if you read it - its just like ever other thread about ARAO: All hype/lies with no product. No one has these heads. Someone post a pic of ARAO heads outside of an advertisement/video.

I actually had a pair.......and I actually ran them.
I would run them again, in certain builds, but I spent less on them then they are now. They did have delivery problems. I waited awhile.
They are illegal for most racing classes, so they will never be popular.
As for a bonniville record, its pretty easy, in some classes all you have to do is show up.

basically for the price tag you are far better off spending the money on LSX DR heads mozez canted valves or all pro heads way way cheaper and similar flow numbers as his claimed numbers which no one has run or has a set of to say yeah they work great...lol
